Tilting Cuttinghead For Bevel Cutting; Rear Support/Carrying Handle; Adjusting Blade Parallel To Table Slot - Black & Decker BDMS100 Instruction Manual

TILTING THE CUTTINGHEAD FOR BEVEL CUTTING
You can tilt the cuttinghead of your compound miter saw to cut
any bevel angle from a 90° straight cut off to a 45° left bevel
angle. Loosen the bevel lock handle (A) Fig. 18, tilt the cutting
arm (B) to the desired angle, and tighten the lock handle (A).
Positive stops are provided to rapidly position the saw blade at
90° and 45° to the table. Refer to the section of this manual
titled "ADJUSTING 90° AND 45° BEVEL STOPS." The bevel
angle of the cuttinghead is determined by the position of the
pointer (C) Fig. 18 on the scale (D).
A triangle indicator is provided on the bevel scale at the 33.86°
bevel angle for cutting crown moulding. Refer to the
"CUTTING CROWN MOULDING" section of this manual.

REAR SUPPORT/CARRYING HANDLE

A rear support bar (A) Fig. 19 is provided to prevent the machine from tipping to the rear when the cuttinghead returns to the up
position. For maximum support, pull the bar (A) out as far as possible.
You can also use the support bar (A) Fig. 20 to carry the machine.
